Maguire Who Believes That MU Can Steal Points From Liverpool Again
JAKARTA - The big match of the Premier League will be on display tomorrow night, Sunday 19 January. The leaders will host Manchester United at Anfield Stadium.
Manchester United's mainstay defender, Harry Maguire is confident he will be able to steal points in this haunted stadium.
"We are not going to play to find a draw. Wherever we go, what we want is a win. We believe in our abilities," Maguire was quoted as saying by Sky Sports.
Maguire's words were not without reason. MU is the only team that can steal points from Liverpool in the Premier League.
That happened when MU hosted Liverpool on October 21, 2019. Even if Adam Lallana didn't equalize in the last minute, MU could be the only team to beat Liverpool in the league this season.
However, reflecting on the team's performance in the league, Manchester United and Liverpool are very different this season. If the Red Devils are still unable to appear consistent, then the Reds are running smoothly and are still firmly at the top of the standings.
Maguire admits that he can't wait to steal points again from the Reds. He is always excited to feel the match with hot rivalries. Moreover, now he is acting as team captain.
"I've felt the atmosphere [at Anfield] and no doubt it will be much better this Sunday as a Manchester United player. This is something I want, playing in the best atmosphere and as loud as possible," said Maguire.
From the Liverpool side, it seemed that the Reds players looked relaxed in the face of this match. Striker Mohamed Salah also jokes before tomorrow's match.
"Why at that time MU could hold our draw? Yes because at that time I did not play because of an injury," he said with a laugh.
